How to display one row of data in 2 lines of a QTableView

judethedude

Hey everyone,
I have a line of data in my SQLite3 database table that looks like this:

Essentially it's right and left eye measurements.
I'd like to view them in a table like this:

Where the above would constitute one "row"

Reading the documentation, this seems like a job for either QStyledItemDelegate, since its responsible for painting, or QTableView because it changes the indexes?

Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thanks all.

EDIT: Or maybe I should subclass QAbstractTableModel:

    class TableModel(QtCore.QAbstractTableModel):
        def __init__(self, data):
            super().__init__()
            self._data = data
        def data(self, index, role):
            if index % 2 == 0:
                # something here

Hi,

It would rather be option number 3: a proxy model that reassemble the data the way you want it.

@SGaist do you think you could provide a small example? I'm kinda stuck here

I just realized that it would make things complicated for nothing.

Just implement a custom QStyledItemDelegate that draws the row entries the way you want to show them. Way simpler that rearranging the data as I suggested above.

You would use a QListView so your delegate can simply pull the row data when painting.
